Steve,
Thanks to your patch I was able to render thick lines inside polygons
(http://i56.tinypic.com/1z347yq.jpg).
The solution of using a STYLE with GEOMTRANSFORM got me thinking of
using the technique to solve some of the labeling challenges:
2. Place polygon annotation on/inside boundary line
(http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/1592 point 8.)
- label the line geometry resulting from GEOMTRANSFORM
(buffer([shape], -3)) of the original polygon
5. Place line anno above (or below) when using ANGLE FOLLOW
- label the line geometry resulting from GEOMTRANSFORM
(buffer([shape], 5)) of the original line
Currently the LABEL object uses the original geometry. Do you think it
would be possible to [optionally?] use the GEOMTRANSFORMed geometry?
Similarly, would it be possible to have the LABEL's convex hull (or a
buffer the character boxes?) used as a clipping polygons of the layer's
geometry to address:
8. Erase layer's geometry (but not other layers) under label
- possible syntax: GEOMTRANSFORM ( clip( [labelpoly] ) )
Your thoughts?
